Above all, you should bring joy, fun, enthusiasm and time to the office of NaheWeinMajestät. Applicants should be at least 18 years old, live in the Nahe wine-growing region and have a class B driver's license.
The crown candidates do not necessarily have to come from a winery or have a winemaking qualification. But they must show enthusiasm for wine as a cultural asset and commitment to the region. After all, they will be promoting the Nahe wine region!
Wine knowledge as well as a skilful manner are also important: candidates should have a basic knowledge of wine when they apply. But she will be well prepared in the run-up to the election: Nose, tongue and palate are given sensory training for wine tasting. Seminars impart specialist knowledge about viticulture in general and the Nahe region.
If you are elected, you will of course have to spend a lot of time representing the region at weekends and on weekdays. This means that the elected majesties must be in agreement with the exercise of this office. Especially if you have been elected Wine Queen / Wine King, you can expect up to 60 assignments per year.
The office and the board of Weinland Nahe e.V. provide comprehensive support for the candidates.
The wine majesties' commitment to the Nahe, the winegrowers and their wines is voluntary and is carried out on behalf of Weinland Nahe e.V.. There is an expense allowance for each appointment.
During their appearance, the NaheWeinMajestäten always wear their crown or brooch with precious stones from Idar-Oberstein. The dirndl has long been out of fashion; depending on the occasion, the NaheWeinMajestäten appear in a classic business outfit, in the so-called "little black dress" or in an elegant evening dress and suit.They receive a clothing allowance to help them stock up on the right wardrobe.
Our sponsor "Auto Pieroth" from Bad Kreuznach provides the official car for the wine majesties.
The NaheWeinMajestäten's term of office passes quickly.In this special year, she meets many people and learns how to present herself and the Nahe wine in the best possible way.Self-confidence, personal charisma and flexibility are qualities from which the majesty will also benefit later on.
But perhaps her commitment to the wine goes even further. Because whoever is crowned NaheWeinKönig / NaheWeinKönig also takes part in the election of the German Wine Queen the following year and has the chance to travel far and meet very prominent contemporaries.
